Earlier this year, Better Plant received notice that Whole Foods would be listing 14 of its Jusu Face products at seven of its Eastern Canadian Store locations starting this August. Three of the seven stores are in Toronto, with the others in Ottawa, Oakville, Mississauga, and Markham. Jusu Juices are also currently stocked at the Whole Foods Market in Victoria.
The order includes three face cleansers, four face creams, four face oils, two serums and one face mask. The deal was brokered by Better Plant's broker partner, Thank You Merci.
"Our Jusu face products are a perfect fit for Whole Foods, and we are excited to grow our relationship with the store," says Amber Allen, Head of Sales for Better Plant. "Whole Foods' standards for beauty and body care products are extremely high and they have banned over 100 commonly used ingredients including parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde donors, oxybenzone and EDTA."
Jusu products fit well with the trends predicted in 'Whole Foods Market Predicts Clean Beauty Trends For 2021', published by the Retailer's Trends Council. One of the trends identified is "Juiced-Up Skincare", which is aligned with Jusu as its skincare is formulated with densely nutritious ingredients that are healthy to consume and beneficial for the skin.
A recent online survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of Whole Foods Market found that 85% of consumers who simplified their beauty routines over the past year plan to continue their new practices. Transparency remains as important as ever, too. More than half (57%) of consumers surveyed said they are interested in learning more about what ingredients are in the beauty products they are buying.
